[Gambas-user] adjusting objects .width property in proportion to their .text property

[M0E Lnx]

Does the AutoResize property work when the object is a child to
something like an hbox whose .expand property is set to true?
I'm having a hard time getting this to work on mine here.

I have an HBOX set expand=true
All child objects of this hbox have their .expand property set to true
but textlabels still dont shrink/expand to their .text property.

how is this supossed to work?
